As a result of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, all new employees must complete an Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9) and present original documents that evidence both identity and employment eligibility. You must present either one original document that establishes both employment authorization and identity, or one original document that establishes employment authorization and a separate original document that establishes identity.
